[PATCH] mm/memory_hotplug: Rate limit page migration warnings

From: Georgi Djakov
Date: Wed May 05 2021 - 10:05:46 EST


From: Liam Mark <lmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When offlining memory the system can attempt to migrate a lot of pages,
if there are problems with migration this can flood the logs. Printing
all the data hogs the CPU and cause some RT threads to run for a long
time, which may have some bad consequences.

Rate limit the page migration warnings in order to avoid this.
